Compliance Risk and DiligenceThe complexities of today’s global economy present numerous challenges for educational institutions around the world. Contemplating new third-party and joint venture relationships while trying to understand and abide by regulatory standards means the barriers to expanding your institution with confidence have never been greater. With an increased focus on compliance, resulting in highly publicized incidents of corruption and bribery, corporations face greater pressure to take a risk-based approach to third-party due diligence.

Cyber RiskFrom student transcripts and medical records to research findings and financial information, academic institutions shoulder a heavy burden when safeguarding confidential data. A college or university data breach means navigating a maze of regulations, while working to maintain credibility in the eyes of key constituencies.
